Absolutely correct — I for example know that if I buy my canned teas in bulk at Costco, I will drink WAYYYY more than if I didn’t.
But if it’s items like trash bags or laundry detergent, absolutely buy in bulk because you will use it at a largely fixed rate anyways. Bite the bullet of the higher initial cost IF YOU CAN, and slowly you will save money by ironically spending more money — initially. It’s not so different to the infamous boot economic theory but with food.
